According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ibrahimovic made a dangerous sliding tackle on the American international defender who immediately reacted with some force.
Onyewu has only just returned from a serious knee injury, which kept him out of action for the entirety of last season and almost cost him a spot on the United States’ World Cup team in South Africa this past summer.
Reports say that Milan Coach Massimiliano Allegri was prompted to take drastic action and suspend the training session after the two players couldn’t be separated – with over 30 fans witnessing the fight.

“Once on his feet, he immediately reacted and took the attacker by his neck. Then came the fight. It was violent from a physical and verbal perspective.”

It was only recently that Ibrahimovic supposedly was caught on camera directing a Taekwondo kick at Rodney Strasser for no apparent reason and has also reportedly told the press that he rather play with some players and not others on the team.
It is still left to be seen as to what the outcome will be. (world-track)
